   Yes, it has 4, two before the cat and two after. Dual Exhaust, you know.   
   We found that one of the after cat sensors was the one signaling the   
   computer to err, but it checked out as good in up close testing.

    MH> Yes, not bad considering how huge they are.  I was looking at both a   
    MH> 1997 and a 1999 Suburban.  Both show 12/17mpg, which on the highway   
    MH> isn't too bad.  They are just massive vehicles.   
      
   Be sure you check which engine the later models have. The 97 still had the   
   5.7L, while the 99 could have either the 5.7L or the new for 99, 5.3L LS   
   engine. GM got pretty close to perfection on the 97-98 fuel injection,   
   then switched to the new design in 99 and full on LS engines after that.   
   My high school buddy in Illinois bought a 2007 Tahoe and it came with the   
   smaller size 4.8L LS, the same one that's in my 02 Silverado. He tows a   
   boat and trailer and was disappointed that it downshifted to 3rd on hills.

   All Girls Garage pointed out that the Toyota Tundras have the same   
   problem. They blamed the blower motor speed resistor, which is probably   
   your Durango's problem too.
